Original subtitles

This landscape brings back so many memories...

The Tsuchikage and Kazekage are especailly persistent.

What should we do?

Huh?!

It's them! They're toward four o'clock!

Wood Style! Deep Forest Emergence!

He's able to use Wood Style?!

I guess this is it for us then...

[low grunting]

Damn it! I don't have much chakra left at all!

What am I gonna do?

Naruto, this time I'll lend you my power.

[irritated breath]

And I guess you're gonna tell me to hand my body over to you again?!

No...I'll just give you my chakra.

I do not care for Madara.

If he's going to try to control me again, I'd rather stick with you.

If I can utilize Madara to my advantage, I can control the war.

I never imagined he'd be such a powerful player!

Naruto! Wait!

Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Giant Rasengan!

[surprised breath]

Go for it, Naruto!

Giant Rasengan Barrage Line!

Just as you said, he's quite an impressive shinobi.

Isn't he?

[heavy breathing]

I used up the chakra Nine Tails gave me in one shot.

I'm at my limit! I'm gonna disappear at any moment here!

[panting]

Naruto, that's enough. I'll take over this battle for here on.

Lord Tsuchikage you're too injured! You're in no condition!

[grunt]

I have a chance to reclaim myself now.

I've still got enough energy left to do that, believe you me!

I'll fight him!

What?! That's crazy!

You're already falling apart!

[heavy breathing]

[alarmed grunt]

That's too bad. I wanted to try out some more jutsu...

But I don't think you can dance anymore, Ohnoki.

[angry growl]

What is that look for?

I already showed you how different our strengths were long ago, remember?

What?! But why?!

That wasn't the agreement! Lord Hashirama said...

There is no alliance now.

You will merely bow down to the might of the Hidden Leaf!

And also...never mention that shinobi's name in my presence again!

[scared quivering]

For all these years, we shinobi have done nothing but do battle.

We have continued to fight for the sake of our nations and our villages.

We just take what we want from our enemies without a single care!

We take from them, and they take back from us again in an endless cycle!

Three times now our hatred has caused all-out war!

But that is simply the way that life is.

I can't believe you've lived as long as you have without learning a single thing from the pain of the past.

I've lived longer than you... And been around the block enough to learn twice what you have!

It's because I've experienced pain in the past, that I can even consider what would be best for the future!

And yet this is the Fourth Great Ninja War.

Is this what's best?

This war is different than the others!

This time, we're all fighting the battle together.

In order to achieve something more than the petty differences we've fought over before!

By watching youngsters like them, I've learned that time doesn't just flow and pass us by.

Though slow in pace, the world does accrue its past experiences...and grows steadily towards peace.

[heavy panting]

That is where you are wrong.

The world does not need to grow any further.

It should slumber in peace under the genjutsu of the Eternal Tsukuyomi.

Madara...Long ago you forced me to foresake myself.

However...I shall win against you here. I will reclaim myself!

And you shall be the one who will slumber!

Lord Tsuchikage!

[surprised reaction]

Come with me, and I'll help you reclaim yourself.

I've found that the aged usually complain when those younger than they are dote on them too much.

Don't you think that's true?

[chuckle]

I'll allow all of you to meddle this one time.

Hmph.

Still have some dance left in you?

For my soul's sake, and for the future!

I shall take you down here and now!

Damn it!

Lady Tsunade!

Your name's Mabui, right?

Prepare your Ethereal Transmission Jutsu and come with me!

The Ethereal Transmission Jutsu is for transporting objects!

It's not like the Summoning or Reverse Summoning Jutsu; it's not meant for people!

There's no time to argue!

We won't know until we try it, right?

We do know!

The transmission rate is so fast the body can't keep up and it just gets torn apart!

It's certain death!

The only one who has ever successfully traveled using this jutsu is the Third Raikage.

But he was able to achieve that feat only because of his superhuman body!

Perhaps it's possible for the Fourth Raikage, being of the Third Lord's blood...

But certainly not for you, Lady Hokage. Please, reconsider!

I've got an idea that just might work.

We'll use the Flying Raijin Jutsu.

We could summon Genma's platoon here, put jutsu formula on a Katsuyu clone, and then have Mabui transmit her to the site.

Well I do have the ability to survive being split into pieces,

There's no need. I'm just going to use this.

Yes, of course, I should've known.

[nervous reaction]

It's still a very dangerous gamble. And you tend to be, shall we say, unlucky with bets, Lady Tsunade,

That's only when I bet money.

It's completely different when I wager my life.

That's why I'm still alive.

[uneasy groan]

Lord Raikage, sir. Please ask Lady Hokage to reconsider this!

[humming]

Mabui, go prepare the Ethereal Transmission Jutsu. You're sending both of us!

Lord Raikage, not you, too!

Shikaku, please!

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that we have no other options left.

It's time for the Supreme Commander's entrance!

[grunt of approval]

Madara belongs to the Uchiha Clan,

If we don't shut down his Fire Style, we have no chance.

We'll save the Flying Raijin Jutsu...

...until we're able to use it against him.

[battle cry]

[struggling grunt]

[attacking yell]

[grunt of pain]

The more of them I cut down, the more confidence I'll gain.

That's why I gotta keep slicing!

[pleased reaction]

Yeah!

I thought that was a lot of chakra you were gathering.

I had no idea that sword would be so huge!

I...can't move!

I had no idea...he could transform the shape of his blade so fast!

Woah! That guy is seriously good!

Genma! I'm sorry, but could you just do as I say?

Shikaku?

It's an emergnecy situation. Don't interrupt me no matter what I tell you!

First of all, the real Madara has been brought back with the Reanimation Jutsu.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but...what was that?!

I said no interruptions!

[gasp]

Do it now!

All right! Here it goes...

Ethereal Transmission Jutsu!

[struggling reaction]

This is a surprise.

So it's instaneous transportation? Wasn't that the Fourth Hokage's jutsu?

That's right. The three of us were formerly assigned to the Fourth Hokage's Personal Guard Platoon.

And now we're there for the Fifth.

The Lord Fourth taught all of us his Flying Raijin Jutsu.

Unlike Lord Fourth, who could do it alone, it takes all three of us together to make it work.

I'm sorry about the close quarters.

Lady Mizukage...

Please go and take Madara down hard!

I'll defend this place with my life as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!

[pleased reaction]

Oh, Chojuro...

That boy...he's grown so much since leaving the village.

Prepare yourself! Lady Tsunade bears the Jutsu Formula on her.

As soon as she reaches the battlefield, we'll fly right there ourselves.

Roger, understood. I'm already late for the alter, I'd hate to be late for more.

Unruly Ay and Princess Tsunade!

I had already relayed our coordinates to HQ!

Reserve Seal! Release! Ninja Art Mitotic Regeneration Jutsu!

Are you okay, Tsunade?

Yeah...

Granny Tsunade is here?!

That's her Regenerating Jutsu!

Hmph.

[startled yell]

Well, seeing that everyone here is still alive, I guess we made it in time.

Now I can finally let loose! And it's about damn time, too!

All right, I'm ready to go now as well!

I must say, it is truly worth living a long life.

Imagine, seeing the day when the Five Kage would unite and fight side by side.

This is perfect! You all will make this test of mine worth while!

Thank you for this, Princess.

I'll heal the two of you. Raikage, Mizukage! You buy me some time while I finish this up!

Here we go, Mizukage!

Right!

Lava Style: Lava Monster Jutsu!

Jutsu this pitiful isn't even worth absorbing!

He's fast!

[shocked reaction]

Lateral Bolt of Pain! Chop!

I feel so out of place here next to them.

What do you think? Is he still okay?

Doubt it.

You've seen what they're capable of.

Keep watching!

There's no way for us to join the fray and help.

Look, why don't all three of you come with me, and we'll go after the other one.

Help me out!

Is that the guy?

Follow me! Let's go!

How much longer, Hokage?

Just a bit!

But Granny Tsunade, are you okay?

Whenever you use that forehead mark jutsu, you get really old and you fall down!

It's different than when I fought Pain, Naruto.

I only healed myself so far, and none of these wounds are very troublesome.

I have more than enough chakra!

Great! So does that mean you can heal me too, Granny Tsunade?

I may be a clone, but I can't afford to disappear yet!

I can join you!

That's not necessary!

[taken aback reaction]

Why not?!

Naruto, you must understand. This war is no longer being fought only to protect you!

Lightning Style Teleportation as well as Lava Style Kekkei Genkai...

Most impressive attacks.

You know, I normally prefer men who are hard to melt. But in your case, I think i'd have to pass.

He can counter me even at my full speed.

I'm gonna have to get faster...and thus up the power to crush your defense!

How is your defense?

[shocked reaction]

A Stone Golem...and a Sand Shield!

Do you understand now? This war has become a battle to protect each other!

I wanna fight Madara, too! I can help you!

A defensive wall of Sand and Stone?

Also quite impressive!

Right! It's time to go on the offensive!

Now, Mizukage! Raikage! Listen to me well!

You! Hold it!

How pesky!

[struggling grunt]

Right. I understand.

Mizukage!

Water Style: Hidden Mist Jutsu!

Hidden Mist...They're trying to block the Rinnegan's field of vision with it.

Let's do this, Raikage!

Right!

Huh?!

That Tsuchikage...He made the Raikage lighter, which increased his speed, but even so...

What a lousy punch!

Not to worry. It'll turn out the same as before.

Huh?!

Super-Lightened Boulder Jutsu!

[shocked grunt]

[painful groan]

Granny! Come on! Would ya heal me already?!

Just calm yourself and listen to me, Naruto.

You see, this war that we're now fighting...

In the beginning, I only agreed to join the Allied Shinobi Forces in order to get rid of the Akatsuki.

But as I battled alongside all of you, I started feeling quite differently than I had in the past.

Now, I want to be here as the Tsuchikage of the Allied Shinobi Forces!

In the exact same manner, some shinobi villages which used to be disparate and autonomous, are now changing.

They are becoming one.

So perhaps this shinobi world system, which thus far has only bred hatred, can change as well!

Naruto...

Please, let all of us deal with this Madara. I swear we'll finish him off!

It'll be our first step in stopping the curse of hatred we've all been under until now.

Like Madara, we Kage are also guilty of stirring up hate in the past.

It's our responsibility to make things right!

Rest assured and leave this to us!

And you...You go and take care of the other Madara, my boy.

That act will become the first step in promoting hope for the future.

The old one or the new one, it doesn't really matter.

Only by defeating both Madaras will we be able to bring this war to an end!

We will all defend you by fighting on this battlefield.

So protect us through your actions by fighting over there on that battlefield!

Now, Clone Naruto... I entrust you with this message from all the Five Kage.

We'll win!

Yeah!

We'll win for sure!

Damn it! That thing is really hard! I didn't even crack it!

Just chill out, Naruto! Fool, ya fool.

I could've simply passed through you, but I guess it doesn't matter if you can't even crack the mask.

With the power to control the Nine Tails, I hope that's not all you can manage!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "The Unbreakable Mask and the Shattered Bubble!"

This jutsu... This chakra!
